Books, books and more books

Well, Abby can officially graduate from Kindergarten but she can’t go to 1st grade yet. What are you talking about you ask? Abby has to read 20 books before she can graduate from Kindergarten but 40 before she can go to 1st grade. We just finished book # 20, phew! Abby brings home a book (the Steck-Vaughn Phonics Readers) and she reads it to us and then has to do a journal entry for each book. She then reads it to her teacher at school and gets another book. Yes, she’s only in Kindergarten. We have to keep each book for 2 nights so that’s about 3 books a week At that rate we can finish the remaining 20 but I tell ya, this stuff is stressful. I do have to brag though because she really is doing a great job reading. Now if she could just get the shoe tying thing done then we would really be doing good.
